Developed in partnership with Remington? Or is that part of some other headline/story?

For the ammunition choice.
Developed in partnership with Remington Ammunition and optimized for use in lever action rifles, the new .360 Buckhammer straight wall cartridge provides extended range, higher velocity, more energy, and a flatter trajectory than the competition for hunters of whitetail deer and other medium-sized game. With the ammunition rolling out nationwide, Henry is bringing the first rifles chambered for the new caliber to market with the Henry Steel Lever Action .360 Buckhammer and the Henry Lever Action X Model .360 Buckhammer.

not doing anything for me, especially at that price point, but I can understand that others may want it as a companion to their Henry rifle.
I'm still sticking with a K frame revolver ( Model 13) as my reasonably priced choice, granted it would be used but they are out there

Meh, if you are going to manufacture yet another 357 revolver ...
Either make it an 8 shot, or make it single action, or at least with a single action clone available, so people thst sre into Cowboy Action can buy it.
Another double action revolver doesn't do much.
Although the other options are either sh*t SW, or most horrible trigger in the universe Ruger - and Ruger stopped making most of their revolvers during COVID.
Maybe it isn't a bad idea. But I still think it should have been an 8 shot.

Good luck to them. I'm not tempted, but one thing I really do appreciate here is that they have different height front sights. I do hate it when the POI is hidden underneath the front sight. I had a S&W M&P from the 1920's that hit there, even with the lightest loads I tried, and as a result it just wasn't as fun to plink with. Would have worked fine, though, if trying to put one center of mass on a big target, just not so fun trying to pick off little targets at a distance.

It's nice looking but over priced.
That is the price point of most S&W K/L frame models & Ruger GP100's.
At that price; I would have to say "pass".
However in the $700 range, I would be very tempted to get that birdshead model.

I feel like it depends how it compares to a modern 686. If it's reliable, with a good trigger and no lock? Could be a reasonable competitor.
We calling this a Remry now?Developed in partnership with Remington? Or is that part of some other headline/story?

They look confused, questioning…..
GP100 would like a word...Like what?seriously? There isn't exactly an abundance of players in 4" 357 mag revolvers.

For their next trick, they're going to sell Clovis points.
There is no need for a DA BFR.f*** single action revolvers. I wish MRI would actually make DA BFRs, then I'd own one.
It would be nice if they made a revolver that can be loaded by opening the cylinder.

Technically, there's no need for a BFR. Yet here we are.

Don't take this as me speaking ill of Ruger here. Taking the broadest view of this market, right now, I see: Ruger, S&W, Colt, Charter, Taurus. Am I missing anyone?
Colt: $1500. Stainless only.
Ruger: $1000+. Blued or stainless.
SW: $1000+. Blued or stainless.
Taurus: $660+. Blued or stainless.
Charter: $470+. Blued or stainless.
The bottom two will be called skinflinting. Colt has a 50% Pony Tax.
That makes the K-frame sort of the eponymous 357 wheel gun. With the exception of the 10/22 and Mk series, Ruger is almost always treated as an also-ran. Adding a Henry at the same price-point starts to look like a race again.
I love competition. I would love to see this additional competitor cause all of them to raise their games.
What about the Filipino Rock Island for three bens?
